Back-to-school clinic offers free shots

Children attending grades K-12 in Texas are required by law to have certain vaccines. To make it easier on busy families, Austin ISD is holding a free back-to-school shot clinic where students can get all of their required immunizations. The Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine will also be available for kids 12 and older; while the Covid vaccine is currently not required to attend school, it is strongly recommended. No appointment is necessary and walk-ins are welcome. Face masks are required inside the clinic and kids must be attended by a parent or guardian. Please bring your child’s immunization records if available. Saturday, Aug. 7, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. AISD Performing Arts Center, 1500 Barbara Jordan Blvd. Free shuttles will be operating from the following sites to the PAC from 7:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.:
